Sober living homes, also referred to as sober living communities and sober living residences, are housing facilities which provide therapeutic, structured housing and supportive, safe living conditions for those leaving drug rehab programs. They typically include a group of people who have similar goals, beliefs, and lifestyle choices. SLHs serve as an intermediate environment between drug rehab programs and conventional society. They are often provided in areas that have high rates of drug abuse, crime, or other negative social conditions.

Residential treatment centers for drug addiction and alcoholism can provide several benefits to their residents. The primary benefit is the immediate comfort of having a support group and community of individuals who share similar interests and goals. Also, when an individual enters a residential treatment center, they will receive individualized, therapeutic care. These individuals may be dealing with many emotional, mental, physical, and other related problems and these problems can be effectively treated while at the center. Some benefits of residential treatment centers include: improved moods, better attitudes, and a more positive outlook in life; less drug dependence and less substance abuse and alcoholism; and greater social functioning and increased self-esteem. Also, many residential treatment centers offer detoxification services to help addicts get back into a routine after their stay in treatment.

Sober housing homes are available in all sizes and locations. They range from apartment complexes to rural areas. Each residence is designed and built to provide a safe, nurturing environment in which an addict can overcome negative feelings, problems, and behaviors. They include everything from individual, one-bedroom apartments to five bedroom condos. In addition, there are self-contained homes, furnished cottages, and custom built homes. The homes vary widely in price and in the type of amenities, services, and activities which are offered. The key is to find the perfect fit for your needs.
